28 Litre Hybrid Sackholder
Product Lead Time 6-7 weeks
This 28 Litre Hybrid Sackholder is part of our range of clinical and domestic waste bins that is manufactured from a combination of materials to give you the best of both worlds!
What is this sackholder manufactured from?
This sackholder is manufactured from a combination of premium quality, corrosion resistant galvanised steel and ABS grade durable plastic. The lid is formed from galvanised steel to provide a heavy duty lid, while the base is manufactured from plastic to give extra corrosion resistance for instances when the bin is placed in areas such as wet rooms. The body of this sackholder is manufactured from Plastisol (plastic coated steel), or alternatively can be fitted with a transparent body for recycling.
If you prefer an all plastic unit, take a look at our 28 Litre Capsule II Sackholder. If you’d like a full metal unit, take a look at our 28 Litre Metal Sackholder.
How is this sackholder operated?
This sackholder is foot pedal operated. The user simply presses the foot pedal to lift the lid so that they can deposit their waste without any skin contact. An optional hands free frame reduces the need to worry about users trying to operate the bin by hand.
What is the capacity of this sackholder?
This sackholder is designed to fit a 28 litre sized sack.
Does this sackholder meet fire safety requirements?
This Hybrid Sackholder is manufactured to strict standards and conforms to HTM 05-03 Managing Healthcare Fire Safety regulations as set out by the Department of Health. Our closed body sackholders have been independently tested by Exova Warrington Fire Research and we also use Class ‘O’ fire rated Plastisol bodies which meet the strict regulations as set out by the British Board of Agrement.
What colours does this sackholder come in?
This sackholder is white as standard, with a choice of lid options available to support the safe management of healthcare waste segregation.
- Choose white to keep your bin all the same colour and define your waste stream with the bag or vinyl stickers.
- Choose yellow for Category A Hazardous Waste which is sent for incineration, such as sharps that are contaminated with drugs.
- Choose orange for Infectious Waste, which is also sent for incineration but includes items such as dressing from infected wounds or items that have been in contact with infectious bodily fluids.
- Choose green for food waste or mixed recycling.
- Choose black for domestic waste.
- Choose yellow with tiger stripe for offensive waste which is sent to deep landfill. This includes items such as colostomy bags, urine bags and incontinence pads.
How is this sackholder emptied?
To empty the sackholder, use the foot pedal to lift the lid of the unit and pull the frame of the lid upwards to release the bag. Simply lift the bag from the top of the unit to empty and replace with a new bag. Fold the sides of the bag over the edges of the bin and pull the frame down to hold it in place again. Release the pedal to put the lid back down. If choosing the removable body option, this aids emptying and allows the body of the unit to be completely removed to take out the waste bag.
What if the internal bag leaks?
This Hybrid sackholder features a leakproof tray to catch any leaks from bag punctures or an overfilled bin.
Is this sackholder suitable for clinical and domestic waste?
This sackholder has been specifically developed for use with clinical and domestic waste. We have been manufacturing sackholders since 1973 and we’ve held the contract for the NHS framework since 1998, so you can be assured that these bins are fit for purpose!
Does this sackholder have anti-microbial properties?
As with all Wybone sackholders, this clinical waste bin is coated with anti-microbial paint to reduce any risk of harmful bacteria spreading on the surface of the bin. This anti-bacterial feature comes as standard with our sackholders and uses silver-ion antibacterial coating to absorb and destroy harmful bacterium.
How is this sackholder cleaned?
This sackholder features easy, wipe-clean surfaces in order to adhere to infection control guidelines. To effectively clean this sackholder, we recommend hot soapy water is used – no need for harsh chemicals!
Where should I put this sackholder?
This 28 Litre Hybrid Sackholder offers a small capacity unit ideal for areas such as patient rooms and toilets. Integrated castors are built into the base of the unit for ease of manoeuvrability.
